George H. Moody Middle School is rich with history and honors our namesake well. For nearly thirty-eight years, Dr. George H. Moody served the citizens of Henrico County as a teacher, principal, and finally, as superintendent. In 1951 he became the first principal of a newly opened Hermitage High School, where he served until being promoted to superintendent in 1956. On August 31, 1978, George H. Moody was honored with a great educational accolade. Hermitage Middle School, previously Hermitage High School, changed its name to George H. Moody Middle School – a great hallmark in the life of a dedicated educator.

George H. Moody Middle School currently serves approximately 1,050 students and we are proud to celebrate our very diverse population. We are an International Baccalaureate World School and the staff at Moody strives to create a safe and positive environment where learning is paramount for all students. We believe that all children will respond to high expectations with a program that: fosters the discovery of individual strength; creates autonomous, reflective learners; promotes collaboration and communication for the 21st century; and encourages active involvement in a culturally diverse international community. We place great emphasis on providing our students with the tools and skills to help them to be highly successful.
